constructives dans le but de régler ce différend et les questions connexes.  
  Pour permettre la poursuite de ce dialogue, l'Argentine a accepté de proroger une nouvelle 
fois le délai raisonnable imparti pour la mise en œuvre jusqu'au 12 août 2008.  D'autres discussions 
entre les États-Unis et les Communautés europée nnes doivent avoir lieu les 18 et 19 juin 2008.

_______________ 
  
Règlement modifiant le Règlement sur les instruments médicaux (1484)
 
 
 
1. Cette initiative réglementaire modifie le Règlement sur les instruments médicaux (le 
règlement).  Présentement, le règlement exige que les instruments de classe II rencontrent les exigences de la norme CAN/CSA-ISO 13488-98, et que les instruments de classe III et IV rencontrent 
les exigences de la norme C AN/CSA-ISO 13485-98.  Il s'agit de normes sur les systèmes qualité 
auxquelles les fabricants doivent se conformer pour obtenir une homologation d'instrument médical.  
En 2003, l'Organisation internationale de norma lisation (ISO) a révisé et combiné les deux normes 
pour n'en faire qu'une seule, intitulée ISO 13485:2003, et a prévu une période de transition de trois 
ans.  
2. La norme ISO 13485:2003 a été approuvée comme  norme nationale canadienne et publiée 
comme CAN/CSA-ISO 13485:03.  Le 15 juillet 2006, à la fin de la période de transition officielle, la 
nouvelle norme remplacera officiellement l es normes CAN/CSA-ISO 13485-98 et CAN/CSA-ISO 
13488-98. 
3. Cette modification réglementaire met à jour le nom  de la norme référenc ée dans le règlement 
pour qu'il corresponde à la norme CAN/CSA-ISO 13485-03 . De plus, cette modification met à jour la 
terminologie « système qualité » par « système de ma nagement de la qualité », conformément à la 
terminologie utilisée dans la version 2003 de la norme .  Cette modification ne change aucunement les 
exigences applicables à l'industrie et constitue donc  une mise à jour de nature administrative. 
4. Les certificats de système qualité actuels CAN/CSA-ISO 13485-98 et CAN/CSA-ISO 13488-
98 produits par les fabricants en vue de l'obt ention d'une homologation d'instrument médical 
viendront à expiration le ou avant le 15 juillet 2006.   Après le 15 juillet 2006, les fabricants seront 
tenus de se conformer à la norme CAN/CSA-ISO 13485-03. G/TBT/N/CAN/47/Add.1
